Nova Scotia

Canada’s Ocean Playground

When you are in Nova Scotia everything is a reminder about how the sea influences the province and it’s people. Although not an Island, Nova Scotia is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean with only 45km wide connection to the rest of Canada. Where ever you are in Nova Scotia, you are never further than 56km from the sea.

Most of the province is covered in dense forest and gentle rolling hills. The Bay of Fundy on the west coast has the world’s highest tides.

Cape Breton in the north is a large island that accounts for about one fifth of the landmass in Nova Scotia. The mountains here are more rugged and reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands.
